A photo of my hand holding up two of the bookmark I designed for Black Dog Books & Records in Grand Rapids, MI (showing the front and back). In the illustration both sides of the bookmark are framed within a bookshelf, where little characters are positioned in the shelves surrounded by books and other cozy props. The artwork is mostly a purple and orange color scheme, with simple character designs. More project info: I was given free rein to do whatever I wanted for this project, and from the start I imagined tiny characters inside of a bookshelf, surrounded by larger-than-life books. All of the books included in the artwork (aside from the ones containing the shop information) are real book spines--many of them banned or challenged books, a few others I chose, a few requested by the store owner, and some other random titles shouted out by friends as I was finishing the project.
